Becoming a member of 10C will allow you to join forces with the strong and interconnected community of changemakers in Guelph and beyond. The goal is to highlight, support, and enhance members’ work through offering new ways of collaborating, coordinating, and building capacity – together as a community.
10C is open to people, organizations and businesses that are working within a social innovation and social change framework.
10C offers different types of annual memberships:
- Student ($25) – This is a membership for active students in secondary or postsecondary school.
- Individual ($50) – This membership is for an individual not directly associated with an organization, working independently.
- Organization ($120) – This membership is for not-for-profit or for-profit groups working in social change.
- Nourish ($200) – This is an annual membership to use the Nourish Kitchen.
- Venture ($240) – This is an annual membership that would support for-profit businesses not necessarily working in a social change framework.
- Nourish + Organization ($240) – This includes both an Organization and Nourish Kitchen membership.
- Volunteer – This is free for active volunteers, equivalent benefits to a student membership.
Note that fees listed above are paid annually.
Once we hear from you, we’ll set up a meeting to get to know you a little better, and go from there.
